Charities: don't be too keen to jump on the AI bandwagon prematurely. For all its benefits, AI also brings some big risks, especially for charities. Spare a moment to consider whether your charity really needs AI just yet. And if not, what’s the alternative? Blog here:👉https://tinyurl.com/bdhc3jtb

The average growth rate for new social media followers ranges from .64% to 3% per month. In other words, the era of organic growth on social media is over.

Bar chart, growing from 80.6% in 2016 to 87.7% in 2025. n=8,512.

Quite chunky increase in the proportion of UK charities reporting that they "could not keep going without volunteers" over the last decade.

National survey prompted by the Community Fdn North East:

Proper customer support is rare these days - but not at Charitylog. We still employ a team of friendly people who know about charities and charity software. No remote call centres for us! No queuing. No bots. That's why 87% of users rated our customer support 'excellent' in a recent poll! 💕

Volunteering is one of the most life-enhancing, self-esteem-boosting things you can do. If you're someone who keeps saying you INTEND to volunteer don't let 2026 go past without following through. Charities are depending on you! 💞

What does it mean to be an ethical company? What does an ethical approach really mean for a business - and how does Charitylog measure up?

What does ‘ethical’ mean for a private company? I don't mean grand CSR posturing or greenwashing by multinationals. We came up with 9 key principles that can be followed by any modest-sized independent UK company.
Then we tested ourselves on them.

So true - and in most cases it's knee-jerk politicisation, usually without all the facts, without nuance and without a sense of humour!

Tech should be a relief, not a burden Tech is a tool that, when used well, will ease the burden by making your work easier, faster and more effective.

Great list. Maybe it's covered here already but how about negotiator? In a previous life I had to convene a monthly meeting of comms leads across local NHS and a big city council to agree shared comms messages about a citywide health and social care transformation. Tough learning curve!!!
